DUAL SENSORTECHNOLOGY
It makes it possible to sense even less than a 1 kg load size. So regardless of load weight, more
accurate sensing is ensured.
Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs.
Sensor Dry : Dryer electronically sense laundry humidity and it automatically determines operation time based on thedryness of the load and the selected program. At times, you can see sudden increase or decrease in operation time.It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity within a certain period. Sudden change in operation time is not amalfunction.
Time Dry : You can manualy set drying time to complete drying. Use dry performance if clothes are still damp aftersensor dry cycle is finished. Time Dry is more effective for heavyweight and bulky items such as king-size bed sheets andthick work clothes.

LP gas.
To reduce the danger of gas leaks, explosion, and
fire, please follow and observe the followinginstructions and WARNINGS.
Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the
nameplate.
Use new flexible stainless steel connectors.
Use Teflon tape and pipe joint compound
insoluble in LP gas on all pipe threads.
Purge gas supply of air and sediment before
connecting the gas supply to the dryer; in order to
prevent gas valve contamination. Beforetightening connection between gas supply and
dryer, purge remaining air until odor of gas isidentified.
• DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gasleaks, instead use a non-corrosive leak detectionfluid.
WARNING!
• Use a new AGA or CSA approved gassupply line.
• Install a shut-off valve.
• Securely tighten all gas connections.
. If connected to LP, have a qualified personmake sure gas pressure does not exceed13 in. water column.
• Examples of a qualified person includelicensed heating personnel, authorized gascompany personnel, and authorized servicepersonnel.
• Failure to do so can result in death
explosion, or fire.
Following are important instructions and information concerning the exhaust requirements for your dryer.,_t Important Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or accumulation of combustible gases, DO NOT
exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space, chimney, gas
vent, or concealed space of a building. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer with plastic or thin foil
ducting.

NOTE : Deduct 6 feet (1.8 m) for each additional elbow.It is not recommended to use more than 4 90 ° elbows.
Exhaust Requirements and Instructions:
1. Venting materials are not provided with the dryerand you should obtain the necessary venting
materials locally. For example, the outer end of
exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hingeddampers to prevent back-draft when the dryer is notin use.
2. The exhaust duct must be t_ur inches (10.2 cm) indiameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to
clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer.
3. Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended
t_r use as transition ducting between the dryer andand the wall. In special installations when it is
impossible to make a connection with the aboverecommendations, then a UL-listed flexible metal
transition duct may be used between the dryer and
wall connection only. The use of this ducting willaffect dry time.
4. DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipejoints or other fastening means which extend intothe duct that could catch lint and reduce the
efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints
with duct tape.
5. To maximize operating results, please observe the
duct length limitations noted in the chart above. 21
Exhaust and Dryer Maintenance
Disconnect the dryerls electric powerprior to any cleaning or maintenance:
1. After one year of use, the interior and complete
exhaust system of the dryer should be examined
and cleaned if necessary.
2. Before one year of use, when drying performancehas become unsatisfactory, please examine and
clean the exhaust duct for better drying
performance.
3. Check the weather hoods frequently to ensure
the dampers are moving freely, that the dampers
are not pushed in and that nothing has been set
against the dampers.
4. A qualified service person or company should be
used to perform this maintenance.
5. A Flexible Metal Vent Kit, available at extra cost,
can be used to exhaust the dryer when it is placed
in hard to reach places. This Kit comes in two
pieces, one of which is attached to the dryer andthe other is attached to the wall exhaust outlet.
Following attachment of the two separate pieces
to the dryer and the wall, the dryer may be
returned to its final position, after which the two
pieces themselves can be connected.
7. Ordinarily, the dryer drum will need no care.
Wipe the exterior of the dryer as required, and
always wipe the exterior of the dryer in the event
any detergent, bleach, or other washing products
is spilled on the dryer.
8. Clean the control panel with a damp cloth as
necessary. Warning: spray pre-wash products
may damage the finish of the control panel.
9. Please clean the lint filter either before drying
each load or after drying each load.
10. Always make sure the lint filter is clean before
starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter
may increase drying times.
11. Annually remove the lint filter and attach it tothe vacuum duct. See item #2 above.
12. Please note that the wiring diagram is provided
inside the dryer control hood. Label all wires
prior to disconnection when servicing the dryer,
because wiring errors can cause serious injury
to you and your dryer.
22
Cleaning the Lint Screen
1. Clean the lint filter either before drying each load
or after drying each load. Always make sure the
lint filter is clean before starting a new load,
because a clogged lint filter may increase dryingtimes.
.
.
.
To clean, pull the lint screen straight up and roll
any lint off the screen with your fingers.Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Push
the lint screen firmly back into place.
Always ensure the lint screen is firmly secured
before running the dryer. Running the dryer witha loose lint screen may cause overheating and
damage to the dryer and articles being dried.
Some articles of clothing may shed more lint than
others (towels for example), causing the Lint
Screen to rapidly fill. Remove lint fi'om the lint
screen before and after drying these articles, suchas new towels.
.
.
In the event lint falls off of the lint screen and
into the dryer during removal, inspect the exhaust
hood and remove any lint.
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can
build up on the lint screen, causing longer drying
times. The screen is likely blocked if lint falls off
the screen. In order to prevent this type of build
up, and help ensure proper operation of your
dryer, clean the lint screen with a nylon brush
every six months or, if necessary, more
frequently. The lint filter can also be washed asfollows:
a) After rolling the lint off of the screen with your
fingers, wet both sides of the screen with hot orwarm water.
b) Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid
detergent and scrub the lint screen with the brush
to remove the buildup of detergent and fabricsoftener.
c) After the residue has been removed, rinse screenwith hot water.
d) After drying the lint screen with a clean towel,
firmly replace the lint screen in your dryer.
Following are instructions for starting and using your new dryer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for
more detailed information. Important Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to person, readthis entire manual, including the Important Safety lnstr.ctions, before operating this dryer.
